This is an shorter version of the Crossley pedigree, done by Samuel Crompton as part of Crossley's obituary in the Palatine Notebook, vol.III (1883), pp. 221-8 (click to enlarge). The complete pedigree is in Chetham's Library, MUN E.3.5, endorsed by his friend and fellow antiquary, Francis Raines. Regarding the Palatine Notebook, I have a set of this short-lived but fascinating journal, which devoted itself to matters Lancastrian, handsomely bound in half-calf. The binding is still tight, so that is why the scan above is not evenly lit, for which I apologise. It's interesting to note that, of James Crossley's four siblings, the only one with any progeny was Charlotte Ann (1799-1831). Of her five children, two were married and so it may be that descendants of the Crossley family are alive today.
